I've never understood why interest in Solomon's temple should be a threat to the Islamic Mosques (Al Aqsa and Dome of the Rock). I think it is because competing religions tend to build their holy sites on top of the other guy's now "former" holy site. I've also never understood why reverence for Jesus, Mosaic history, or Mohammad should be a source of anxt among those who are associated with such respect. Mosaic history? What's that - a history of mosaic art? I don't know why people of different religions hate each other either, and I don't think they necessarily do if the country where the various sects live respects all religions equally. Of the major religious groups however I think it is clearly the Muslims who have to get over the idea of legislating their Islamic values if they ever want to get along with non-Muslims well. It may be unIslamic for a good Muslims to eat during the daytime during Ramadan, but I really doubt it is unIslamic for a good Muslim to watch me eat during the day during Ramadan. So why legally prohibit non-Muslims from eating in public during Ramadan?
